1210 Rogers St

Welcome to 1210 Rogers Street! Past the mature oak-leaf hydrangea guarding the front porch and up the front stairs, this former duplex has been reimagined over the years, with two units combining to form an open and airy Highlands home. The striking turquoise front door leads inside to a living space that maintains original architectural detail and feel; high ceilings, exposed brick. Meanwhile, a renovation by the prior owner opened up this space in a thoughtful and modern way. The living room, just inside, overlooks the end of Rogers street, and has original fireplace mantle, a reminder of the 19th century build. The dining space is happily located between here and the kitchen, large enough to host dinner guests of any number. While age-appropriate hardwood floors run throughout, newer cabinetry, appliances, and accessories have transformed the kitchen into a functional and modern space. To the right, two bedrooms both offer enough space for larger furniture. One, at the front, has beautiful and bright white built-ins for closet and entertainment space and a door that opens to a private front deck. The second boasts an en suite bath and dual storage and closet spaces. Along the rear of the home, the sunroom serves as a second living space, with windows stretching along the east-facing side of the house, perfect for mornings filled with the sunrise. A large storage closet is here, as is the laundry and access to the second bath. The rear door opens to an enormous deck which steps down to a small rear yard. Access to off-street parking is here, and the fully-fenced yard is perfect for those with four-legged friends. After almost 20 years of ownership, the Seller has poured an enormous amount of care into this property, and for a Buyer who is looking for a unique property in a popular area, with easy access to Downtown Louisville, was well as the shops and restaurants that the Highlands are so well known for, this cutie checks a lot of boxes. For the Buyer searching for an artist's hideaway, a tucked-away home with a cottage feel, or a secret retreat, she's worth a look.
